BENJAMIN PAULY is a Bavarian, and was born in 1826. His parents came to New York
city when he was seven years old. At the age of fourteen he commenced work in a
butcher's shop, was there four years, when he went into business for himself,
and opened a pleasure garden. He arrived in San Francisco in the fall of 1852,
and after working at his trade a short time in this city, went to Amador county
and commenced mining. He stopped there but a short time, but came to Sierra
county in November of 1852, and followed mining in the vicinity of Downieville
until 1858, when he bought the East fork saw-mill, which he now owns and has
been running since that time.
